The Coin Puzzle in Wood Side Apartments in the new Silent Hill 2 Remake requires finding three different coins before attempting the puzzle. These coins are hidden throughout the apartment complex, and two require you to complete small puzzles to find them.

This guide is for the Standard difficulty settings. Other difficulty settings may result in other solutions.

The puzzle box itself is in the Reception room of the apartment, covered by a sheet. Once you have gathered all three coins, you can return here to solve the puzzle. Here is how to find them.

The Silver Coin

Heads For Man, Tails For Sword

The silver coin with the Man and Sword can be found in Room 206. Be sure to stop in Room 108 first, where you'll find the Golden Apple Handle needed for this first puzzle. Then head to Room 208, where you'll find a wardrobe with two golden hands, with one hand facing up. Place the Golden Apple Handle in the hand, which turns the hand downward and opens the wardrobe.

Inside the wardrobe is a peephole showing a room with a safe in the middle and drawings on the walls. Step to the side of the wardrobe to push it out of the way, where you'll enter the hidden Room 206 behind it. Approach the safe and use the combination: 13 Right, 7 Left, 11 Right. The safe will open and give you the silver coin, with a Man on one side and a Sword on the other, and a steel key, which opens the hidden door at the end of the room.

The Gold Coin

Heads For Woman, Tails For Cross

Head to Room 312 to start this next puzzle, where you'll need to crawl through a vent in the small room to the west. Pick up the Apple Juice from the table and drop it through the garbage chute. A short cutscene will play, showing other trash being knocked loose, including a gold coin, which rolls across the pavement outside.

Head back to the parking lot where you'll find the gold coin on the ground, with a Woman on one side and a Cross Tombstone on the other. If you need help finding your way back out quickly, HarryNinetyFour's video shows the easiest way back out.

The Bronze Coin

Heads For Flower, Tails For Snake

The last coin can be found at the apartment's pool. You can reach the pool by jumping out the window of Room 116. Inside the drained pool is a stroller surrounded by fog.

Be wary of enemies. The first time you clear some of these areas of the apartment, you may be ambushed by several different enemies.

Approach the stroller where you'll pick up the Bronze Coin, which has a Serpent on one side and a Flower on the other. You now have all three coins for the puzzle.

Solving The Puzzle

Answers To The Poem Riddles

You can now return to the Reception room where the coin puzzle box was found. Each stage of the puzzle has a different poem that you have to follow by placing the coins in the correct slots with the correct sides facing up.

There are five total slots along the bottom, so the answers will be written in accordance to whether or not the slots are filled, and if so, by which coin. The first poem's answer is Man, empty, Woman, empty, Flower. The second poem's answer is empty, Sword, empty, Woman, Flower. The third poem's answer is empty, empty, Man, Tombstone, Serpent.

The final poem's answer is up to the player, as it asks for your opinion on who is to blame for the woman's death. Place either the Serpent, Man, or Woman coin in the top slot to lock in your choice. Be sure to think carefully, as your decision could influence which Silent Hill 2 Remake ending you get.
